review 1: piu' bello del già bellissimo A volte ritorno meno originale, ma a differenza del primo questo non si perde mai... non fatevi ingannare dalle prime 50 pagine, il libro è moolto di piu' mi ha fatto ridere, commuovere e pensare e ora Kennedy Marr mi manca. scritto divinamente, Niven crea un romanzo che è un un piccolo capolavoro. sesso (tanto), alcol (a fiumi), poesia, citazioni.. la storia di uno scrittore moderno, nato nella classe media irlandese e diventato milionario.. intelligente, ironico, scorretto. arrivati a metà non vorrete più lasciarlo.. se volete regalare un libro a natale, regalate questo.
review 2: What an incredible book. A beautifully written, clever, funny and deeply disturbing book that will grab hold and stay with you. Niven is as funny
... moreas ever but this novel has a distinctly grown up feel about it compared to his others (Cold Hands aside). What starts out as entertaining quickly gets dark, and then very dark. Yet within even the rawest moments, there are still moments of pure comedic genius and you can't help but laugh despite everything that is happening. Equally there are moments of complete horror that just stay with you. I don't want to give anything away because this is one of those books you just have to pick up and read… don't bother with the blurb, just throw yourself into it. less

Tried but found this book tedious and trivial..Vulgar nonsense..Unpleasant boring main character.
